He is listed in the McMinn County, Tennessee census of 1830 as married and having one male child under 5. He was still with the army in the removal of the Cherokee Indians to their reservation in Oklahoma in 1838. John H. was the first county clerk of Bradley County, Tennessee.

cemetery, as is Naomi who died June 26, 1847. The land for the cemetery, consisting of seven acres, was donated for the purpose by John Harrison Robertson. His old home, which is still standing, is on the original homestead adjacent to the cemetery. On the arch that spans his and Naomi’s gravestones is the following inscription: “Why stranger dost thou tarry here – no longer dare delay – the judge is near and near the final hour. O stranger go repent and sin no more.”
